Great job Dan! Just use Mole grips to grab the shock and spin the nut off that way

[@ProjectDanH]

Good tip! But it spun right though em! Maybe Next Time!

[@VenturaIT]

[@VenturaIT]

[@Rick850angler]

[@ProjectDanH]

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Your XJ looks like new from underneath. Mine is covered with mud. 😁

[@ProjectDanH]

Lol! Ain't nothing wrong with that

[@hayzersolar]

i just did this on my 99. set the jeep on the ground and have someone turn the wheel and the track bar fits right in. got that tip off of DeXJs channel.

[@ProjectDanH]

Bingo! Good tip! 🎉

[@tsmith578]

That xj project is looking good Dan. 👍 On my ZJ I used some 3/16" Steel plate and reinforced my trac ber bracket on the axle, But Barnes 4x4 does sell a nice replacement one for a fair price. The Rough Country trac bars are ok , but personally I prefer the ones from Rusty's Off Road, they cost a bit more than Rough Country, but absolutely worth it.

[@ProjectDanH]

That's good to know! How does the track bar adjust?

[@tsmith578]

@@ProjectDanH. I uses a tie rod with a locknut It is actually the same size and thread of tie rod that is used on the drag link at the steering box end that connects to the pitman arm.

[@greybeardwheeling938]

Hey Dan for removing the front shocks if they are garbage anyway don't bother with the upper nut. Just unbolt the bottom and pull the shock bottom towards you, the top will snap right off.

[@ProjectDanH]

Oooh! That's a good trick!

[@JohnSchiavoneJrBSEERN]

Dual batteries would be a cool idea!

[@ProjectDanH]

Looks like we may have a winner for our first mod

[@VenturaIT]

1 yellow top battery give me about 5 hours of continuous laptop time, 2 would give about 8-10 hours... that's in my ZJ

[@carlt8188]

Don't forget to put the fluid in the front diff.

[@ProjectDanH]

Just bought some 75w90 synthetic today!

[@17MGTP]

Good job Dan and thanks for feeding the 🐸 some big fat 🪰ies! 👍

[@ProjectDanH]

Hahaha! The fly catcher!

[@raystevens687]

Yea if you plan to weld a flat washer make sure you a none galvanized washer the fumes can send you to the hospital. A friend of mind did that and spent a week in the hospital.

[@ProjectDanH]

Whoa! That's crazy!!! Good to know!

[@MrSnowford]

Great series. That's gonna be a nice little rig. You gonna replace the control arms and bushings? They look pretty beat. I just did mine, what a difference. I removed the entire axel for the top bushings. Made the Job 100x easier and it was only about an hour to get the axel out. Too old to try and drill out/press in those on my back.

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks man! I think im gonna get some new extended control arms for it in the near future. Great Input!

[@nobsatthistime]

The top of the shock post as a pre cut spot for a wrench by grinding a spot in the shock post is a terrible idea. That shock will be leaking in no time.

[@ProjectDanH]

I don't care if the old shock leaks .. just a trick to get the OEM ones off... Hope you don't think I'd do that to a new shock. 🙏

[@Midwest_XJ]

I hope you’re using anti seize!

[@ProjectDanH]

Got a new pint for the Toad

[@danieljohnson8437]

Diagnostic port?

[@ProjectDanH]

Sure.. what about it?
